I had to quaff some! 🤣
I got this from @aitkenwines_1874 - always such a fabulous choice of organic and sustainable wines.
**Grape**: 75% Viura, 25% Tempranillo Blanco
This is a Dry, Burgundian esk white wine, full-bodied with citrus 🍋 and stone fruit flavours 🍑, and full on toasty 🍞, butter popcorn 🍿, honeysuckle 🍯flavours. It's got a hint of Chenin Blanc meets a white Burgundy!
You can tell immediately this is an oaked white! It's creamy and smooth. I love it! 😍 It's exceptionally good value! Would I be able to tell it's a white Rioja. Probably not 🤣🤣🤣
It's been aged for 2 years with a smooth texture and a nice long citrus finish. This has got the body and acidity to pair with a fairly rich dish of say creamy mussels or creamy lemon chicken risotto and lashings of parmesan!
